The Bears have been plagued by injuries this season, and these injuries have contributed to the poor performance seen this season. Thank God Lance Briggs is healthy again. Chicago Bears Daily Blog explains just how important he has become to the defense. Dallas and Detroit ran up the score with out Briggs. Bernard Berrian is out with a toe injury. He did not practice on Wednesday. I would be embarrassed if i was him. He has dropped a lot of passes, and to be out with a toe injury is weak sauce. Tommie Harris did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, but he hasn't been practicing much lately because of injuries. It's fine though because he has been playing in games. Neither Tillman or Vasher practiced Wednesday. Tillman has an ankle injury, and Vasher has a groin injury. It will be nice to get both of these guys back. They make a hell of a defensive back pair. It's a lot harder for teams to run or pass when they're in. The line and the linebackers can run more stunts and run defenses designed to stop the run when they have competent guys to stop the pass behind them.
Sexy Rexy Report: 3 interceptions and no touchdowns. 15 for 32 for 195 yards. Let's compare that with the unquestionably the best quarterback in the game right now, Tom Brady (doesn't have the highest stats in the league, but is going to win another Super Bowl). Brady was 23 for 29 for 311 yards. There is a quite a bit of speculation that Sexy Rexy will lose his job, but I'll venture to say that he will start next week.
The Good: Urlacher had two sacks. Oh, and it looks like we're going to be getting a high draft pick this year.
The Bad: Grossman, but that's a given. The Cowboys put up over 400 yards of offense. The Bear's defense is better than that, but they are on the field way too often. They also didn't force turnovers. Hester looked totally lost out there returning the ball.
The Ugly: Injuries. Tommie Haris, Lance Briggs, and Nate Vasher all left the game injured. It hasn't been reported whether they will be available to play on Sunday. Anyways, most people are hoping Griese gets to start this week. That might fix us for a little while, but he isn't the quarterback we need. I don't believe we have the quarterback we need. None of them are the caliber of quarterback you want to base a franchise around.
